[RFC 1/2] ath9k: work around AR_CFG 0xdeadbeef chip hang

[Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann@open-mesh.com>]

From: Simon Wunderlich <simon.wunderlich@open-mesh.com>

QCA 802.11n chips (especially AR9330/AR9340) sometimes end up in a state in
which a read of AR_CFG always returns 0xdeadbeef. This should not happen
when when the power_mode of the device is ATH9K_PM_AWAKE.

This problem is not yet detected by any other workaround in ath9k. No way
is known to reproduce the problem easily.
